NASA Asked People What Message They'd Beam Into Space and It Turned Into a Trump Roast

By  20:31  No comments

Not all heroes wear capes; some tweet hilarious messages about President Donald Trump to NASA. The space agency is celebrating Voyager 1 and 2's 40th anniversary by asking the public to post a "short, uplifting message" on social media. In return, it might choose your message to beam into space on the anniversary of Voyager 1's launch. While some are using the opportunity to share kind and thoughtful words, others are taking the chance to roast Trump.

The idea of beaming a message to the Voyager comes from the spacecraft's Golden Record of Earth, which includes photos, sounds, and messages from the planet we live on. Both Voyager 1 and 2 carry this record. If you love the sound of this campaign, you need to post a message to Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, and Google+ by Aug. 15 by 11:59 p.m. PT. From there, NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Voyager team will pick their favorites. The public will then vote on the winning message, which will be transmitted on Sept. 5 to Voyager 1 and arrive to the unit on Sept. 6.

Some took the campaign to heart and posted messages such as:




But many, many others used the opportunity to let Voyager 1 - and maybe the entire galaxy - know exactly what they think about Trump.





We're going to go ahead and guess that NASA isn't going to pick one of the Trump burns as the message it beams up to space, but for those of us on Earth, it's pretty damn hilarious. May NASA choose well; after all, as the agency wrote in a press release, "Since the spacecraft could last billions of years, these circular time capsules could one day be the only traces of human civilization."
